Prime numbers greater than 3 are 5, 7, 11, ...
$$So,\ if\ x=5,\ then\ \frac{x^2}{8}=\frac{5^2}{8}=\frac{25}{8}=3\ remainder1$$
$$So,\ if\ x=7,\ then\ \frac{x^2}{8}=\frac{7^2}{8}=\frac{49}{8}=6\ remainder1$$
$$So,\ if\ x=11,\ then\ \frac{x^2}{8}=\frac{11^2}{8}=\frac{121}{8}=15\ remainder1$$
In all cases, remainder = 1

Answer = option B
